Check the history, as its clear that Constantine as part his merging of paganism with the church issued the decree making Sunday a public festival throughout the Roman Empire, and should worship on Sunday (the first day of the week). The day of the sun was already a pagan festival from ancient...
Well history shows us what happened, and there are even more statements on the Sabbath, from the Catholic Church that claim they are the ones that change the day, not the Bible or apostles or Christ, they are very clear on this:
"The retention of the old pagan name of Dies Solis, for Sunday is...
So what are the events that Christians look for. One is the coming of Christ in glory, which they all show be waiting for. Jesus said:"I will come again." John 14:3
This promise will be fulfilled and the return of Christ or His second coming to this earth is the event that will finally release...
Now lets look at the 144,000 in the Bible:
Revelation 14:1-5
“1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the...
We see Christ laying down what will happen and the signs and events to watch for.
Matthew 24 King James Version (KJV)
"1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these...
I will have to make another thread, as the Bible is clear, Christ is coming to take all of the saved at one time at the Second Coming. No Secret Rapture, no few here and there and then others or allowing some out a 'purgatory', no universal acceptance of the wicked or allowing sin to continue...
Then are we free to steal, murder, and take others wifes, of course not. Gods law still stands, as long as He exists, it is a deception that the devil brings that Gods law doesn't apply.
This is why you must read the Bible not allow people to deceive you by saying its from 'tradition' or the...
Lets read what does the Bible say:
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." Mark 16:15, 16.
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every...
Now here is a good study by a friend of our family, Dr. Samuele Bacchiocchi:
"The Greek philosopher Socrates (470-399 B. C.) traveled to Egypt to consult the Egyptians on their teachings on the immortality of the soul. Upon his return to Greece, he imparted this teaching to his most famous...
Then why didn't anyone observe it then, no one did. You can arbitrarily claim 'I keep Sunday in honor of the Resurrection' but none of the Apostles or any of the early Christians began keeping Sunday as the day of worship after the resurrection.
Worship is the reason for the Sabbath. It is the...
Its history, no bigotry, the day was named for the sun god..."All of the days honored Roman deities. Sunday (dies Solis) was the day of the god sun Sol. Monday (dies Lunae) was the day of the moon and celebrated the goddess Luna. Tuesday (dies Martis) was the day of Mars, the god of war...
The Romans incorporated gods from conquered peoples throughout the empire, and the Sol Invictus was the sun god of the Roman Empire...
The Dying-and-Rising Gods: Sol Invictus
Here is the History Channel on the emperor Constantines edict..."The gradual process towards Christian tradition and...
So lets all go to the Temple to observe the sacrificial system, but wait, we cant do it. Can we say why this is, its plain as the proverbial 'nose on your face'. As Christ has come and through His sacrifice, as the Lamb of God, type has met antitype. He who is greater than the Temple and wrote...
Gods Law of love, the 10 Commandments are everlasting they do not change as long as God exists. But even the Jews admit that the law of Moses ( or as a list of 613 Mitzvot) is arbitrary depending on the individual Rabbi or teacher interpreting it, and no longer apply as the Temple and its...
Now those that kept the Sabbath were subject to great persecution as the "Christian" leaders began to make laws against the Sabbath, forcing the "day of the sun" as the day of worship to the forefront with "Sunday Laws"...
Here are a few:
One of the first Sunday Law enacted states "Let all...
There are even more statements on the Sabbath, the Catholic Church is very clear on this:
"The retention of the old pagan name of Dies Solis, for Sunday is, in a great measure, owing to the union of pagan and Christian sentiment with which the first day of the week was recommended by...
Here are some statements showing which show who the Protestant churches are following and its not the Bible:
"Protestants ... accept Sunday rather than Saturday as the day for public worship after the Catholic Church made the change... But the Protestant mind does not seem to realize that ...
The Bible is quite silent on Sunday sacredness, so those who claim they follow 'Solo Scriptura' or the "Bible Only" Protestant Churches contradict themselves by observing it as a replacement for the Sabbath. Many say that the reason it is held as the day of worship is since Jesus rose on the...
You are hitting the nail on the head, it was to spread the Gospel to all the people of the world.
Act 2:4-11 KJV And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (5) And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men...
So if I say, "I speaking in tongues, you have permission to steal that car", am I just 'reflecting light' or something else. That is the problem with saying its purely 'mechanical' as it opens the way for false teachers and charlatans whose only light is not from God, more from evil itself.
